so I did a search and picked up some comments here and there from larger threads but there was not specific post on this. Probably because its it so darn easy, but still want to cover my bases before I do this as I am chasing a leak and I am almost positive it is at the back of my valve cover. I dont have a bunch of stuff to remove on my 83 as it is desmogged and has a weber 38 carb on it so this could literally take me 30 minutes. My questions about the video below would be:
1. I read on here to maybe use some sort of adhesive to hold it in place if it doesn't want to stay in the groove, but this guy pinches the cover with his pliers to make it hold.....what say you?
2. I have a torque spec sheet and man is it light. This guy doesn't use a torque wrench....would love to see some comments on tightening those 4 bolts...
3. are there gaskets around those 4 bolts on the top of the cover and if so where can I get them.
Video is of a 62 and he has a lot of s*** to move before he gets to taking off and putting on....mine will be much easier.
